Script Editor Doesn't Show Render Progress

[civiello]

I used to be able to watch the progress of my renders via the Script Editor. I don't know what has changed, but I am now unable to see my rendering progress in the Script Editor.
I've since noodled around with some of the menu items in the Script Editor but am unable to fix.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There's something pretty broken with Maya 7. I don't know how many people are having this problem but I've had it happen, and it's a lot deeper than just not showing the progress. The Maya interface also doesn't get whatever feedback it needs from the rendering command to allow it to stop a batch render that is in progress.

Possibly not related, but it also seems to segfault all over the place when using the Render command at the commandline.

If anyone has actually gotten Maya 7's batch renderer to work, how about giving a shout out about htf you managed it?

Are you on mac? if so then the reason is here: http://www.highend3d.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=213813

I dont knoiw what the problem is about but atleast the guys i know who have macs didnt have thiis problem. What maya build are you on?

On pc i havent encountered any problems. Except maya does not show progress infinetly for some reason (it stops doing so after about 2-5 hour s of rendering it only reports full frames after that) it has been a recurring theme from 4.5 version now so... but thenagain who cares, its not maent that you launch batches from the ui except for small tests. BUt i havent had any problems with maya 7 so far. None whatsoever its worked well for both launcing and stopping. (offcourse because its differet therad it takes so ime for it to update)-

Anyway hthere was a lot of problems but it took a mac user who actualy knew how to use the commandline to figure the rpoblem out!

Ps. commandlines arent out, infact theyr in again after 10 years of problems with lack of commandlines.

I'm on Slackware Linux, I believe it's version 10.2 but I don't remember. Running Maya 7.0. I get no progress feedback when I go to batch render from the UI and the cli renderer segfaults.

I even tried blowing away my user settings, and all that got me was stuck with the mental ray renderer, which doesn't segfault from the commandline, but also doesn't seem to actually output anything.

I'm really kind of disappointed, as Maya 5 and 6.x worked mostly without a hitch.

hmm okay on linux you can have all sorts of problems that are due to the fact that the distors are so wastly different. BUt the fact that it segfaults from commandliine is the reason why it does not give any feedback.

Its not realy alias fault that theres too much to consider whan releasing on any linux... and the fact that last worked is no guaratee taht it worked for the right reasons id stick to alias cerified distros just to be sure and avoid all the tweaking. atleast it works fine on my suse test platform. Unfortunately this means tweak tweak tweak for you, wich is linux users curse, but when you deviate of the path thats the procie you pay i suppose.

Anyway, you can contact alias, they should not be able to help.
